Oregon Myrtle Wood

My first “large” bowl. I have had my lathe for a few months now and am slowly gaining some confidence. Need to keep practicing. I am not happy with those visible tool marks on the bottom. Constructive criticism is welcome, my goal is to keep improving.

Been Practicing This Week

I just got my lathe a few months ago. I have some time off and have been practicing. Here are the latest few pieces.

Diefenbach Goodness

I just cleaned off my new to me workbench before starting my next project. I inherited this beauty from my father in law a few months ago.

Alder Bowl My 5th ever

Here is my 5th bowl ever. It has a diameter of about 5” and is 2” tall. Had my lathe for about a month now. Bouncing between bowls and pens while trying to learn a few things along the way.

This is my 4th attempt at a bowl. I am slightly less intimidated by the bowl gouge at this point, but still heavily respect it.

I wanted to focus on a wider flat rim and was successful at that. I also wanted to try something different on the base so I hollowed out the middle.

I am open to feedback on what works and what I should do differently.
